Fort Mason Receding

This is a montage of a Fort Mason shot from Photo SF and the north woods of Canada.

Branched Walkway

This one is more in line with my grungy flowers series but does fit my Urban Woods series except for color.

Ok, I was a little bored today and was referred to this video. I think these guys must have to much free time.

Park Benches

This is a montage of images from Hakone Gardens and a shot from San Francisco of benches along a concrete wall. I am iffy about this one but decided to post anyway.

Midnight Walk

I have another roll of B&W film in for processing. However, it is going to be at least a week before I get it back from the lab. The first place that I visited said 3 weeks so a week is better.

This is a montage of two other posted images, one from Santana Row and the other from Golden Gate park.

City Center Receding

This is a montage of three images. The images of the tree trunks was taken in Samuel P Taylor park but never posted. The second image is a marsh scene from Coyote Creek trail. The final image was taken with my small digicam in downtown Oakland.

On an earlier B&W post, Terri mentioned the B&W work on Andre Kertesz. This reminded me of a find at Photo San Francisco. Check out the Night Journey series of Susan Kae Grant. I visited the Modern Book booth and was fortunate to see her entire portfolio. On my B&W images, I must try a more creative approach to unblock myself. I think all the masterful B&W work that I have seen is running through my head and stopping my own experimentation.

Day Lilies

This one is a montage of a night shot of day lilies outside In-and-Out Burgers with a waterfall with ferns shot. I definitely went through about 3 dozen layers to end up with this effect.

Moonlit Walk

Another in the “Urban Woodlands” series.

Swept Along

Another for my "Urban Woodlands" series.

Tonite, I had good news waiting in my mailbox. I just found out that I received an Honorable Mention in the Photographer’s Forum Annual Photo Contest. This is my third year of entering, and I have been a finalist in the last two years but no better. Of course, the question now is which picture? I do not know. In fact, I cannot which (3) images that I submitted. Here are the (4) possible pictures. My guess is that it is "Devils Gulch Trail #2".

Step In

I am running out of material. I have to go out sometime this week and shoot some new images.

Swimming Upstream

Another in my "Urban Woodland" series.
